My Experience With Nykaa SkinShield Anti-Pollution Matte Foundation

As shared above, I got the foundation in the shade 07 Hot Honey (Neutral Undertone) which is meant for wheatish skin tones. Actually, I got in for my sister and the shade perfectly matched to her skin tone.

Nykaa SkinShield Anti-Pollution Matte Foundation has a thick creamy texture and has a chemically fragrance. However, the fragrance doesn’t stay and vanishes after the application. Though, the shade was for my sister and was not apt for my skin tone but I still applied it just to see the texture and coverage. I took the foundation at the back of my hand and applied in dots all over my face. I used a brush for blending and then used a beauty blender to smooth it out. Though, I got good coverage with a brush but at the end of the day, I noticed that the foundation creased a bit on my laugh lines and forehead lines. So, the second day, I used beauty blender and the foundation didn’t crease. You can also your fingers to get that natural look.

Finish & Coverage Of Nykaa SkinShield Anti-Pollution Matte Foundation

Let me tell you that Nykaa SkinShield Anti-Pollution Matte Foundation settles into the matte finish but it is not that flat matte and will not make your skin look stretchy or dry. Your skin will look natural and the best part is that the foundation is quite lightweight and is comfortable to wear. The foundation offers medium to buildable coverage. I didn’t even colour corrected my pigmented area but I really liked the coverage that it gave. The foundation claims to control oil so, I intentionally didn’t set my combination skin just to check its efficacy. After 5-6 hours, I saw a little oil on my T-zone area so, it actually helps in controlling oil. As far as its claim of keeping the skin hydrated is concerned, it fulfills that claim as well.

One thing to be kept in mind is that Nykaa SkinShield Anti-Pollution Matte Foundation oxidizes. What you can do is that you can apply a brightening concealer under eyes and on the center of the face so that when foundation oxidizes, it will create a nice contour effect and the center of the face stays brightened.

Staying Power

Let’s talk about the staying power of the foundation. In hot and humid weather of Mumbai, the foundation stays on me for around 7-8 hours.

Overall, I really liked Nykaa SkinShield Anti-Pollution Matte Foundation and would definitely recommend buying this.

Not So Good About Nykaa SkinShield Anti-Pollution Matte Foundation

• Oxidizes
• A little pricey

However, it fulfills what it claims and comes with triple active action formula so, I am more than happy to spend 799/- on this foundation.

My Rating – 4/5
